Excerpt from Days and Ways of an Old Bohemian As I have never kept a diary, except for business and Official purposes, I do not pretend to be precise in my dates. Nor have I adhered strictly to any chronological arrangement. I have just written down things as they have occurred to me, often more with regard to subject than to date. My birth coincided with the more important episode of the Crimean War, also, it happens, with inter alia, the first use Of photography in portraiture, the abolition of the Revenue Stamp on newspapers, and the first issue Of a London daily newspaper, the Daily Telegraph, at the price Of one penny.
